Autonomous Communication Initiation Responsive to Pattern Detection

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the element is identified via the first user interacting with functionality of a computer device other than the autonomous agent.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the autonomous agent engages the first user during a period in which the first user is not engaged with the autonomous agent.

6. The computer-implemented method of claim 5, further comprising generating and updating each of the plurality of baselines of behavior in real-time using stream-based computing.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1, wherein the autonomous agent is part of a question answering (QA) system.

11. The system of claim 9, wherein the element is identified via the first user interacting with functionality of a computer device other than the autonomous agent.

12. The system of claim 9, wherein the autonomous agent engages the first user during a period in which the first user is not engaged with the autonomous agent.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the memory contains further instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to generate and update each of the plurality of baselines of behavior in real-time using stream-based computing.

16. The system of claim 9, wherein the autonomous agent is part of a question answering (QA) system.

20. The computer program product of claim 19, wherein the computer readable storage medium contains further instructions that, when executed by the computer, cause the computer to generate and update each of the plurality of baselines of behavior in real-time using stream-based computing.
